To find the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone, we will first calculate the volume of the cone and then add the volume of the hemisphere (ice cream on top of the cone).
Step 1: Volume of the Hemisphere
The volume \( V \) of a hemisphere is given by the formula:
\[
V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3
\]
Given that the volume of the hemisphere is \( 4 , \text{in}^3 \), we can set up the equation:
\[
\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = 4
\]
To find \( r^3 \), we can solve for \( r^3 \):
\[
r^3 = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{2\pi} = \frac{12}{2\pi} = \frac{6}{\pi}
\]
Now we will find \( r \):
\[
r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{6}{\pi}}
\]
Step 2: Diameter and Height of the Cone
From the problem, we know that the diameter of the cone is equal to its height. The diameter \( d \) is twice the radius:
\[
d = 2r
\]
Because the height \( h \) of the cone is equal to the diameter, we have:
\[
h = d = 2r
\]
Step 3: Volume of the Cone
The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]
Since \( h = 2r \):
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3
\]
Step 4: Substitute the Volume of the Hemisphere into the Cone's Volume
We already found that:
\[
r^3 = \frac{6}{\pi}
\]
Now substitute \( r^3 \) into the volume of the cone formula:
\[
V = \frac{2}{3} \pi \left(\frac{6}{\pi}\right) = \frac{2 \cdot 6}{3} = 4 , \text{in}^3
\]
Step 5: Total Volume of Ice Cream
The total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is the sum of the volume of the cone and the volume of the hemisphere:
\[
\text{Total Volume} = V_{\text{cone}} + V_{\text{hemisphere}} = 4 , \text{in}^3 + 4 , \text{in}^3 = 8 , \text{in}^3
\]
Therefore, the total volume of ice cream in and on top of the cone is:
\[
\boxed{8 , \text{in}^3}
\]
